Education
Cinema Center's education philosophy encourages an open
attitude towards all media. Quality moving picture media
are informative, inspiring, uplifting, entertaining and
part of daily life. New media, especially the Internet, are
important elements of our technological
future. Creating educated viewers who easily ignore
inferior, sensational or exploitative programming is more
effective and beneficial than telling people to just "turn
it off." Encouraging people ofall ages to be informed
and educated media consumers is our educational
goal.
Cinema Center offers various educational
opportunities. These include:
Movie Talk -- Each month the Cinema Center Education
Committee hosts an informal post movie conversation. Movie
talk takes place the third Sunday of the month after the
2pm matinee. The discussions are held in our new space! We talk about whatever movie is featured
for the matinee. If you just love to talk about
movies, this is a great opportunity to chat with other
movie fans.
IPFW Summer Film Course -- Each
Summer, Cinema Center and IPFW collaborate in
presenting a series of movies available for fun or
credit.
Special Events, Panel Discussions and more: Cinema
Center often presents events that enhance our
programming. We present speakers, filmmakers,
demonstrations and panel discussions whenever we
can. Recent events have included: Myo Myint speaking after a screening of "Burma Soldier," and a wine tasting after a screening of "Sideways."
Your event here! If you work with a community group
and know of a film that would benefit the cause of
your community group, please give us a call. We love
working with other community groups to raise awareness
about causes and concerns whether they are local, national
and global.
